ICR x TRE (Intensive Cardiac Rehabilitation x Time-Restricted Eating)
20 patients will be randomly assigned to the standard of care group, which will receive the standard health and nutritional wellness guidelines that are required of UCSD's 9-week ICR program, referred to as the "ICR" group.
20 patients will be randomly assigned to the Time-Restricted Eating (TRE) group which will be asked to limit the number of hours they eat in a day to 10 hours in addition to receiving the standard of care health and nutritional wellness guidelines that are required of UCSD's 9-week ICR program, referred to as the "ICR x TRE" group.
